6 - 8 November 2012

THEORY

For this week, all we did was practice and rehearse for the singing assessment we were going to have. I was sick the entire week: I had a sore throat, I had a runny nose, and I had a really bad cough. It was the worst timing to be sick, so Mr. John let me postpone my assessment to Thursday, 8 November 2012. On Tuesday, 6 November 2012, I had my first rehearsal for the singing assessment. I don't think I did a very good job because I couldn't reach 25% of the notes of my song, "I Can Hear The Bells" from Hairspray, because they key kept getting higher and higher, but that's how the song goes, so I couldn't change that. On Wednesday, 7 November 2012, I didn't do a rehearsal because my throat was very sore and my voice sounded horrible, so I tried to do a vocal rest, which didn't work because I still talked a lot. On Thursday, 8 November 2012, I felt my condition getting better, so I have decided to do the singing assessment today instead of postponing it again to next Tuesday. I think I didn't do very well in this singing assessment because I was scared my voice would break and I couldn't reach the notes, so I panicked and I forgot one or two lines of the song, but other than that, I think I was okay.

INSTRUMENT

In instrument class, we continued to play Bourree by Johann Sebastian Bach, but this time we tried to combine the two players' parts. I thought that was quite hard because the melody is different for both players, so I thought it was difficult to combine the two.
